I’m in too, thanks for setting it up Stirbelwurm. Currently sitting in 3rd on 27 million. Sorcerer’s Lair is great fun once it gets going.

FX3 seems pretty good. The tables still play the same, and the tournaments are an excellent addition. It doesn’t really need to do anything else considering that it’s free, so I won’t feel too bad about ignoring all the other bells and whistles.

I had a go at the “match up” league thing, but it seemed to be timed - that’s a pity, as all the tables get more fun the longer you play on them, the first couple of minutes is always the least interesting.

A Windows 10 update borked my 360 pad a while back. Looks like now I’ll need to get my shit together and resolve it so I can play this game again.

It’s a common issue with XBox pads, the whole usb stack on win 10 is a clusterfuck of epic proportions, uninstalling the usb drivers, then reboot and plug controller in usually fixes it though.

Only lingering issue I have left with win 10 & controllers is if I have had any controller plugged in I will start to get progressively worse hiccups in performance and have to reboot after about 6 hours, that clock only starts after I plug the controller in.

Well, the test challenge is now over! We’ve got 14 participants and pretty good scores I’d say! Nice to see everyone returning already for a new test of skill and fun!
I think the top scores are even better than the last time we did a challenge of Sorcerers Lair.

The best score from last time was from AngoraFish with just under 300 million points:Old Challenge scores/

As you can see with the second screenshot, this whole tournament mode made this a lot easier to see how the participants actually scored during the challenge. So, what do you guys think, continue our weekly tradition?
If so, what mode should we play? Always the classic one (with or without upgrades?) or switch it up a bit each week with one-ball-challenges etc?

Also, what tables should we play on? The last time I started with V12, I don’t want to repeat that, if possible

I agree, the in game tournament mode is excellent. I tried out a couple of others, with different modes, so I don’t mind what we go with. But yeah, a weekly challenge would be fun again. But definitely not V12, hate that table! Although did see a Steam friend say it’s improved… not sure I believe them tho!

I think you can drag an image into a post, and it’ll appear eventually. There are other ways I think, there has been some discussion in the screenshots thread (might be the archived one now though) or maybe the main thread in site feedback.

As always, I am absolutely terrible at this, but I still find playing this game quite enjoyable and the support for tournaments was perhaps the biggest downside of FX2 for me, so I’ve been delighted with 3.

Regarding the table, I don’t mind it being V12 soon, as we’ll eventually get there, but maybe not so early on this time. I’m afraid it might take away any moment Rock, Pinball, Shotgun (the only correct name for our club) could gain. Let’s go with something a bit less dreadful for now.

In theory I could also start like two tournaments at the same time. Since it’s way easier than before, this shouldn’t be that much work. It also makes for some variety and we could play around with the modes for a bit and maybe choose a new and an older table at the same time, so that the chance is higher that everyone has something to play on?

I’m top! Ok, only me and you have played so far but… I’m not top often! The 5 minute limit certainly changes the dynamic drastically; I quite like it but I can see that others may not. Anyway, I doubt I’ll be 1st for much longer if others join in…

I don’t seem to be able to join. I search by name for ‘Bexo Dust’, but it just takes me to the results of the previous tournament. From there it just takes me back to the tournaments menu. Am I missing something obvious?
